I wouldn't want to attend a school where one nut case could literally blow away their fellow students. This state and country have gone nuts!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05181777607658551475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-51279872292442611212016-04-09T07:11:37.538-08:002016-04-09T07:11:37.538-08:00Steve, Gene and I contemplated what we would have ...Steve, Gene and I contemplated what we would have done if open carry would have granted rights to carry concealed weapons at Out North. We decided we would have started by asking patrons to calmly and quietly take off their weapons outside and leave them in their vehicles.<br /><br />If they wouldn't agree that, we would have refunded them their ticket, without protest. Beyond that, we would have faced not starting a show until they left, making a point of it with our audience. It would have been uncomfortable, but ethically necessary as we oppose this arming of citizens for 'protection'.<br /><br />If the House passes and the Governor is compelled to sign (he should veto), the university needs to step up to this bully-law, as that is what it is. I don't feel SAFE with anyone and everyone carrying a sidearm, loaded and ready to fire who doesn't represent a broader interest than self-interest.<br /><br />Their ready potential to use deadly force is a threat to me, and that is a legal definition of assault. It is a criminal actuality, especially for people with PTSD.<br /><br />Fight back. Ready civil disobedience on this. Risk arrest. I remember more than one American western, where the good sheriff met gun-totin' baddies at the edge of town to tell them to check 'em in until they left town.<br /><br />I think it was called law enforcement.Jacob Dugan-Brausehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06287631724339961459noreply@blogger.com
